Philippine Educational Laws
Section 15. Criteria for Salaries. - Teachers salaries shall correspond to the following criteria: they shall compare favorably with those paid in other occupations requiring equivalent or similar qualifications, training and abilities;
they shall be such as to insure teachers a reasonable standard of life for themselves and their families; and they shall be properly graded so as to recognize the fact that certain positions require higher qualifications and greater responsibility than others: Provided, however, That the general salary scale shall be such hut the relation between the lowest and highest salary paid in the profession will be of reasonable order. Narrowing of the salary scale shall be achieved by raising the low end of the salary scales relative to the upper end.
